I can't think of any reason why running MinimServer in a VM would make a difference to what it sends to the streamer.

If there really is a difference, it must be because some mistake or bug causes some part of the chain to do something wrong, maybe causing a suboptimal transcoding choice.

The only way to determine if there really is an audible difference (unless the error is glaring like bad dist or large droputs) is double-blind listening tests, maybe facilitated by ABXswitching.
